Anyone listen to the new Accuphase DP-77 CD Player

also plays SACD's to boot. While this model is very new, a few have supposedly made it into the states already.

I am really curious as what the differences are, because as Jayme says, $8K in MSRP has to come from somewhere, and at the moment i just cant see it in the documentation ive read. As an owner of a DP85, i sure hope there is some tangible (on the ear at least) difference or ill be pretty ***** off (the DP85 has only be out for a year !!!). Cheers PS : I believe Accuphase are actually using a proprietary transport in both the 85 and 77, but i could be wrong.
